Hey there. I'm having surgery on April 5th. We should keep in touch. I also started a Facebook support and advice page for those of us going thru WlS in the next month. There is a group of good people on there and it is nice to have that kind of encouragement. Please feel free to join if you'd like.

@hajoura_sweet omg please tell me all about it!! on a scale of 1-10 how bad was the pain when you woke up? Were you able to get up and walk the same day? Was this your first surgery or a revision? Can't wait to hear back from you.

Hey sweetie! Really really it's not all that bad and today i went out shopping with my daughter!

It's so funny that you ask that! When i woke up from anastasia the first thing the nurse asked me was "on a scale of 1 - 10 how bad is your pain" and i answered 4 .. don't worry about a thing you'll be perfectly fine!

I slept alot for the first 2 days i don't even remember them clearly hahah

Also i should tell you something very important.. the first day or 2 you will feel like you've made a massive mistake and you will regret it. But thats the bit of you that tells you to take a second slice of cake and another chocolate now... push through it ok hun! Don't let that side of you trap you.. many people have lost tons of weight and kept it off.

In hospital when i wanted to walk i would feel a sharp pain on the lower left side of my stomach that was very unpleasant. Thats due to no bowel movements. But you won't nesaseraly experience that.

This was my first surgery

I can promise you by day 4 / 5 you won't feel pain or have any discomfort (except maybe using the toilet)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
